TNA has announced via press release that James Storm and Jeff Hardy will attend the 47th annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas this weekend. The two will join Blake Shelton during an NRA celebrity shoot competition, serve as celebrity judges for the Sin City BBQ contest and introduce performers to the ACM Experience stage. They will also be on the red carpet. The show airs live on on Sunday at 8:00 PM ET.

I get Storm… but Hardy seems a strange choice for the CMA. Personally I would have sent Hemme and Storm. Two people who are legit country fans. Hardy's the bigger star, no doubt… but Hemme would bring the eye-candy factor and draw more of their target demographic fans to TNA
